According to documentation [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/php-api/5.0/\_connection\_pool.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/php-api/5.0/_connection_pool.html) in official PHP client ([https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-php](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-php)), if a node fails then it will be marked as dead for 60\*2^x (x - $failedPings) seconds. It seems to work during one request but during next request, each node is checked again.

Are these params preserved during the subsequent request? In the client, I do not see any usage of APCu or something that could save it for next request but maybe I'm missing something.
